    European style movie

    Beautiful 'film noir'. I was pleasantly surprised. Decent and inspired acting and a moving Carbonell at the end -driving back to the airport- with a wonderful (as always) Michael Lerned.

    With eye to detail: the plastic bag where the table cloth was wrapped in, is just visible in two more scenes before it gets a place in Nestor's luggage (I like those details very much, it's shows respect by the director). The pace is just great: very slowly and thus giving me time to enjoy the weird and strange atmosphere. A very un-American movie; perhaps that's why it's more popular in Europe? Hope Carbonell finds more inspiration (and money!) to make more of these beauties.

    Really? What the hell....?

    Not sure what I just watched there. For my legions of fans who follow my reviews, all one of you (me), you'll know I watch these movies because I'm a fan of Luke Perry, that's what brings me to them. I like his acting style and enjoy the odd films that he finds himself in as he earns his living trying his best to set himself apart and show that he's not just Dylan McKay. Once in a while, the film or show he gets to be a part of is quite good. Not this time. Luke was fine, though. All the actors were fine, they all played their parts like true professionals. But the story... Geez what the... Just utter, pure, like, why would anyone write such a thing. How is this a story? I often enjoy movies where nothing happens, like Wes Anderson type movies, but usually those films have an interestingness about them while nothing really progresses. Not here. This was just, yea, lousy. There were some parts, like where the main character meets another person in his business on the plane, where I thought something was going to pick up and a story would begin, but it just never materialized. Like I don't even know if they were going for the so bad it's quirky and ridiculously funny because it wasn't. If you enjoy watching pure blah, and sometimes I am in the mood for that, then I highly recommend watching this. But I wasn't looking for it tonight and that's what I got. Oh well, next...

    worse than a blue-light special

    Attention shoppers still to this day is been my lowest ranking of a movie ever. It doesn't even deserve a star. I use it as the basis of judging every movie that I see for whether it could possibly be worse than this. The height of the plot of this movie is a guy sitting at a card table at an empty k-mart. waiting to sign autographs. So far no one has beat it.Don't waste your time on this one even if your desperate, staring at the wall would be better. I think instead of a movie k-mart was using it as some sick advertising ploy to see how many people they could get to respond although they were most likely all in complaint. save your money for some other blue light special. at this rate, casey affleck's performance in this film is even worse than, dare I say it, his brother's in gigli. not that seen that movie...

    No bargain here.

    The plot for this movie would make a good 10 minute sketch on SNL. It doesn't stretch to the playing time of the movie. The writing is periodically clever and sometimes amusing, but never really funny.

    I think the goal was to make something like Office Space about peripheral actors on a non-sensational sitcom. But the execution isn't there. The movie tries to be serious at times but would have been better with a lighter subplot.

    The movie takes the usual "everything outside Hollywood is corny and hick" attitude. K-mart, Houston -- you know, real rubes.

    The only remotely developed characters are the main character (played by Enrique Suarez) and the Houston limo driver played by Michael Lerner. The latter is excellent in his role. Meanwhile, Martin Mull is very weak in a brief role as a flight attendant.

    If someone forces you to watch the movie you should resist, but not so much that you might hurt yourself. It's not perfectly terrible, either.

    Great Movie!

    I am a big fan of independent movies (I don't like those big budget Hollywood movies), and this one was AWESOME!! Not only was the cast great in it, but the writing was very original. This movie will make you laugh and cry - it's that good.
